This question was first posted here (recently):

https://inkscape.org/forums/beyond/anybody-build-from-source-on-rh-el-8-or-r...

It was kind of long, so please just read that and then reply here.

Found this script in the current developer's instructions:

https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/-/raw/master/install_dependen...

Have not tried it yet. It lists Fedora but not any of the RHEL variants. Also, under Fedora poppler is not explicitly called out as a dependency, and from the first link, building poppler was a problem. Does the Fedora build not use poppler, or does it come in automatically from one of the other dnf commands?

For reference, see also:

For Centos 8.3 (or maybe it was 8.2) "dnf install poppler-devel" worked, but for almalinux 8.6 it does not, failing with a:

No match for argument: poppler-devel

Thanks,
